Originally posted by AR2 Lowters, just in case if we didn't like Feastrex, which I assure you was not the case. Feastrex were revelation I have to say. What a speakers! But what amp we listen to! F2 jFet is the amp of the amps. It is the father of all amps. It is the king of all the amps!

We listened to new F2jFet-jFet, F3, F5, new M1 with line transformer voltage gain on Festrex and Lowter on the top and Eminence 15" Beta on the bottom. Analog Pass custom crossover, PAss lab DAC, Pass lab preamp, Pass Lab phono stage.
I do not know if I was clear enough about my opinion on new jFet F2?

First on the Feastrex. I was never too excited on the full rangers and I believe with the reason. In this combination with 15" for the lowest octaves (bellow 80Hz) it sounded awasome. I am talking about the small Feastrex. I still believe that we changed something in the levels so that smaller Feastrex sounded little bit fuller than the big ones, but we all concluded that we loved the sound coming out of those drivers. They do not need tweeter - period. Their top end is the closest thing I ever heard to RAALs ribbon, which is the best top end I have ever heard.
F5 was feeding all the time Eminences and we exchanged the top amps.
Again in my mind the best sound to me came from new F2jFet. F3 was pure tube sound. I would say F3 in my mind gave the best mid range performance. Amazingly the closest competitor to new F2 was F5 on the top. We listened F5 on the bottom and on the top and we all loved that sound.
The closest resemblance of the sound coming out of the new F2jFet is Aleph sound. That well defined top end that really no other amp could match, and what you would express not in KHz, but in MHz is something that best explains it. I would say the top end with the soul. That is what my ear trained on Aleph would compare F2jFet to.
We listened to analog turntable and digital Wadia transport through the Pass Lab DAC. Please do not start discussion on this subject please, but they both sounded very, very good. The sound that is still reverberating in my mind is the recording of train and rain and thunder played from turntable. Talking about the lifelike sound is just that.

Ah, a Poster of "Quiet Earth". (Post 37) I like that Nightgown-Shotgun-Jesus-Scene!

But to be more on topic: I hope, if these M2 and J2 amps are as half as good as the early praise, that 6moons does not deny the blue moon award again. I'm talking about the F5. Mr. Ebaen seems to be a really nice person and his review was excellent as always, but IMHO this denial was a mistake.
